The interview with the incident in question is on the BBC F1 website to view.

If someone wants to stand on the forks & be lifted up then thats down to there own choice & also if the operator is happy to let them.
If the forklift operator doesnt want to wear the seatbelt then again thats down to there own choice.

I wonder if RedBull have a safe system of work that covers those points for doing the job the 2 lads where taking part in?

I always wear the seatbelt & I wont lift anyone on the forks unless its in a proper lifting cage.

What I was more worried about where the people that walked between the front of the lift truck mast & the back of the trailer, serious risk of being crushed / killed if the forklift suddenly shot forwards.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
